Problem capturing a Print Screen

G

Guest

I enterd Start|Run clipbrd.exe and found the ClipBook Viewer empty.

I entered Start|Admin Tools|Event Viewer|System
Seleted a warning message and right clicked on Propertis - a detailed
description of the waraning was displayed in a pop-up window

I placed the cursor in the pop-up window and pressed the Alt, PrtScr keys
simualtaneously.

I enterd Start|Run clipbrd.exe and found the ClipBook Viewer empty. Can
someone tellme why the details of the warning were not there?

Did you try pasting it in something instead of using thre clipboard viewer?
What if you do the entire screen?

Yes, with cursor outside the pop-up window I simulataneously pressed Alt
PrtScr keys. Then I opened WordPad and trired to paste. Nothing went in.

And the rest of the query?
Full screen (Print Screen only)?

Do it this way,

Open Start|Admin Tools|Event Viewer|System
Select a warning message and right click on Properties - a detailed
description of the warning is displayed in a pop-up window.
CLICK on the Button with the picture of two pages.
NOW paste the infomation you captured.

I wonder whats up with OP using Alt and Print scrn keys in order to do
screen captures?

I've never had to use a combo of keys - I just press the Print scrn/System
key on my 102 key keyboard, and then I can paste the capture in MSPaint; As
a new image in another painting application such as Paintshop Pro 8 - or use
Paste as Special... to place the captured image as a bitmapped object in a
Wordpad rich text format document.

"Print Screen" alone = whole screen.
"Alt" + "Print Screen" = active window.

Not on my machine. If PrtScr nothing is captured into clipbook viewer.
If I Alt PrtScr hing is captured.

What could be wrong? How do you trace the problemto its source?

Perhaps some graphics application you have installed has taken over
these features. I have a program PrintKey V2.3 which changes the
default operations.

Hi,

I found PrtKey on the Internet and have it installed on the notebook that
will not perform PrtSct operations. It made a scan and reported no problems.
Is there a particular operation I should perform to see if graphics
application is interferring with PrtScr command?

Hi Elmo,

If this is a dupliate reply, I appoligize. I didn't see a post of the
reply I sent you earlier so I am repeating it.

I downloaded PrtKey and ran the scan successfully, now how should I use it
to see if a graphics program is interferring with PrtScr operation.

I was hoping that the utility would reassign the PrtScrn operations and
get them working again. Prtkey won't help find out what is blocking the
PrtScrn key, just redirect them to its utility.
